South Carolina started its lottery in 2002. Since that time, it has raised over three billion dollars for statewide education initiatives. The goal of this promotional site is to give South Carolina residents an online landing page where they can access all the news, info and products on offer from the lottery. And the website offers a host of features. While folks can’t legally buy lottery tickets online, they can learn everything there is to know about all lottery games in the state of South Carolina. Also, winners can access the claims center from this website, and it will provide them with everything they need to know in order to redeem their winning ticket.

Learn about just how lottery money is appropriated for education

The South Carolina Education Lottery is all about preserving integrity. Per South Carolina law, the proceeds of lottery games in the state must be used to support education. And the SCEL has been very effective at facilitating this. In just one year, from 2013 to 2014, lottery sales hit 1.2 billion, and the SCEL capped their administrative spending at 2.9%, which is far short of the budget limit of 8%.
